This is good as if you’re hung up on a particular stage or wish to jump ahead a few levels, you can do so. I mentioned that you can take the stages in any order you wish. After each stage you’ll get a graph and some stats that show how you did in that stage and you’ll get a medal depending on how well you did. You can also choose from four difficulties, so the replayability is definitely there. Each stage has several different challenges you can take on which range from things like having a fixed amount of resources to surviving one hundred waves of enemies instead of the set amount for that stage, or even having to hover the cursor over a tower to make it active…or even burn an enemy with the cursor which is really fun and makes getting some achievements a lot easier. Thankfully there’s quite a bit of replayability in the game in the form of challenges. However, if all there was to the game was just twenty one maps to play through, that would make the game a tad short. The goal of Defense Grid 2 is basically the same as other tower defense games build towers and take out enemies. It’s interesting to note that you can take the stages in any order you choose, but doing so you might miss out on some of the story and could get confused by a few things, but I’ll get into that a bit more later. Each stage is also accompanied by occasional conversation between the characters to explain more about what’s going on. There are five planets and each one has roughly four to five stages and as you progress further through the game the story begins to unfold a bit more. The story of Defense Grid 2 is that you’re basically defending several planets from an alien invasion…or at least that’s how it starts out. With so many tower defense games out there, what sets Defense Grid 2 apart from them? Well, let’s find out. Some tower defense games have enemies on a set path and you’re limited as to where you can build the towers, while others give you an open field to work with, letting you put towers anywhere you want while the enemies follow a set path, but you can for the enemies to go around your towers and actually build mazes for them.
DEFENSE GRID 2 UPGRADE
As the waves get stronger and contain more enemies, you’re required to build more towers and upgrade the ones you have.

Tower defense games have a simple premise: build towers of various types to ward off wave after wave of enemies.
